The George Hotel of Stamford

We live in Stamford but decided to go all out and stay in the best place in the home town. We booked a double room and a table in the Oak Room restaurant. What a stay. The room was upgraded to a 4 poster room and the staff and service were all perfect. Free tea and coffee in the rooms, any drinks from the bar will be brought up. We visited all of the rooms downstairs and enjoyed the breakfast the next morning. The hotel really does love up to it's reputation, and while it is expensive, I feel it truly odd with every last penny. Hoping to stay again very soon.

I visited 28 Sept George Restaurant recently, and the experience was just okay. The food risotto was average in taste—nothing special or particularly memorable. The flavors didn’t stand out, and I expected more from the dishes I ordered. What made things worse was that they forgot my seabass fish, which was one of the main dishes I was excited to try. Despite reminding the staff, the dish never arrived, leaving me quite disappointed. Overall, the service felt disorganized, and the experience didn’t live up to expectations. I hope they can improve both their service and attention to orders in the future.

We have just returned from another perfect stay at this wonderful hotel. We have travelled widely and The George is our favourite. We have had four different rooms of our choice over the years we have stayed here. This time we booked one of the superiors we really like and it was perfect again. It had everyone you would need for your stay and it was very clean, as was all of the hotel. We love the choice of food in the Oak Room and all our meals were delicious. The staff are extremely friendly, professional and helpful. We were sorry we had missed seeing Diane before her retirement. It was always a pleasure to have a chat with her at breakfast. We hope she enjoys her retirement and who knows we may see her around the town on our next visit. There is plenty of choice for breakfast and that sets you up for the day ahead. We also enjoy the sandwiches in the Bar. Always delicious. The room and hotel were nice and warm as the weather was bitterly cold outside. There is nothing we would change about this hotel. We will see you again in the very near future. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

This is the second time I have stayed at the George & the third time I have eaten there, the last two meals were fantastic & the room was great this time I really did feel disappointed the Four poster room was to me just a room with a four poster bed in it no wow factor I have stayed in one of the other four poster rooms & l found it great, the bathroom was really good couldn't complian about that in any way. We ate in the Oak room that night & felt quite let down the scallops were jelly like my girlfriend had the pork for her main & looked just like it was just slapped on the plate she said it tasted great but the presentation was awful, Floater coffees served in wine glasses could not taste the alcohol & got that deducted off the bill. I love to wear a jacket & tie to dinner & that's why I like the oak room but there was a table there with people wearing jeans & no jacket or tie it really took the shine off it for me . A shame but I won't be returning. Overall the staff were great couldn't fault them.

This quintessentially British hotel is one of my family’s favorites when visiting this part of the country. On this occasion, we visited for lunch in The Garden Room (Courtyard). We were fortunate to have an incredibly warm summer’s day, making outdoor seating an obvious choice. We enjoyed ice-cold white wine accompanied by Porlock Bay Oysters, which were large but not creamy, perfectly sweet to our preference. I then had the Haddock and chips, which were gorgeously battered to perfection. The service was exceptional, and the ambiance of the venue was even better. It was a thoroughly enjoyable lunch.

This was our third stay at the George. We had an excellent 2 nights stay with a delicious evening meals in the oak room and lovely breakfasts in the garden room. The staff were excellent helpful and friendly. We were brought tea, orange juice and a paper each morning at a time we requested. The bedroom was very large and comfortable. Plenty of car parking space and within easy walking distance of the lovely town of Stamford. We will certainly visit again.
